Green Acres Cafe

Civil Rights District · Birmingham

Also listed in: Over 50 Birmingham

Green Acres started in 1958 when the current owner's father opened it on the corner of 16th Street and 6th Avenue North, and it now works out of a takeout storefront on 4th Avenue North. The menu is wings, sandwiches, catfish and a pork chop sandwich, and Bham Now's 2025 hole-in-the-wall list called it a secret gem for wings on the North Side since the 1950s. The Greater Birmingham CVB lists it as takeout only and open late most nights.
